Starfish have an endoskeleton comprised of many little bones.

Since the term starfish encompasses a whole host of different creatures with different numbers of arms, I presume the answer isn't well defined. All the skeletons I've seen have a huge number of intricate bones, but I haven't seen that many.

Term bones doesn't 'easily' apply to the phylum echinodermata. What solid spines and plates they have are part of their skin, and what gives their bodies their rigidity is a 'water vascular system' or a Hydro-skeleton' or a 'pneumatic skeleton', which depends on water pressure to make it function.

What is the ability to regrow body parts?

Fragmentation is the ability to regrow body parts...like with a starfish, or worm. Only the worm will grow two butts, so the second half will die. But with the starfish as long as you cut through part of the nucleus (Middle) it will regrow the missing parts.


Sadly for them these creatures can reproduce asexually Cut it in half and you get two new ones Cut off of its many arms and they will just grow back What are they?

These creatures are most likely starfish. Starfish have the ability to regenerate lost body parts, including their arms, which allows them to reproduce asexually through fragmentation. If a starfish is cut into pieces, each piece has the potential to grow into a new individual.
